The topic says it all.

Why do governments feel the need to make drugs illegal? If anything, it causes a lot more problems than there were before. If they were legalized, there would not be nearly as many violent actions over getting them since the prices would not be nearly as high. There would not been as many people over doing it with drugs, since it would eventually just become a normal thing in day-to-day life.

k first off crack doesn't do that sh't... It gives u the biggest body high ever imaginable, which is 10x worse than a body high off MJ... This lasts 15 minutes, and then for 1 week straight u feel like sh't. It doesn't cause u to hilucinate or do anything else like that... You wanna halucinate try salvia... That'll make u go insane, and end up f'ucking something up badly.

No, it just constricts vessels and increases heart rate. It gives you something along the lines of an adrenaline high.

it is a warning label issued by the Surgeon General. who is in charge of health and stuff.

you can find surgeon general warning labels on alcohol and cigarettes and basically anything when done over a long period of time that may cause harm to your body.

ya just gotta shop around. Get the cigarrettes that say "May cause foetal injury"... what do I care I'm ot gonna get pregnant just avoid the ones that say lung cancer. ok joke they (hopefully) don;t quite work like that.

Ok sorry for that slight bill hicks tangent. its strange that despite knowing the warnings and dangers I'm still gonna go out after exams and get drunk at a party yet, with less physical danger, I wouldn't smoke pot.

Marijuana should be legalized, that is all. It would boost our economy a bit and make more people chill and down to earth. Everything will be more exciting again, and people will get hungry a lot. . . but pot is nice, sometimes. It just depends on the level of [forgot the name of it] in it. The lower it is, the better the pot is for you. It's better then cigarettes, that is. Better as in a different reason rather then health. . .

hmm I have to say...at this point there would really be no point in legalizing the smoking of marijuana, except to make it easier for kids to get a hold of drugs that they can abuse. At this point I now sit next to a pot head in Geometry class, who came to class high last class, and found that she didn't act any differently high then before. Though it is a known fact that with some marijuana can be used as a gate way drug making some want to try other substances that are a bit more deadly. That may be one reason why it is not legalized yet. Though truthfully while I used to be a huge activist against marijuana, I just am not quite sure about it anymore. Though cigarettes...thats a different story.

Well, I believe I stated this before, there should still be an age limit (18 for cigarettes) and there should be taxation on the "feel good sticks" which would increase a ton of government revenue.

god, illegal drugs arent like alcohol, look with weed, you dont have the chance to drunkenly kill your friends or hit your wife, when your high you just sit back and look at the &quotretty colors" as your looking at your friends "DANGLY PARTS"

lol, I will put this out plain and simple, but maybe blunt, I apoligise if it annoys u, but I must say:

Illegal drugs are the cause of much more, yes they start fights, but in the end that is because people do not have just DISICPLINE to stay away from it, look at China and Japan.

China and Japan are insanely rich, able to get through the Credit Crunch easily and quite able to stay away from all this, they don't allow anyone in their country unless it's their blood or someone with good qualifications (e.g Doctor), they have the best disipline and even HONOR in the world, honor is something everyone exept me, my father and those two countries have lost, 2v1 = Honorless and weak
1v1 no weapons or ambushes = Honorable, nonetheless in a war there is either boundries, or no boundries at all - Honor or no honor, if someone violates it you shall too, but you keep to it, so why don't we decide we get more disipline and honor so we don't get to this conversation? Hmm?

My excuses for forgetting, but Crack and other drugs do hook u up on it, the people who do it end up having bad personalities and no money - Drinking is fair if you take it in moderation, which you can much easier than Drugs, and you're looking at Drinking too badly, how are you to go to something in a bar and get some happiness out of it? Drinking though it's usually violent and nasty in TV shows actually has alot of good qualities, you get easy-amusement, it cools you down, and as long as you don't get maaaddddd then you can chill out, crack keeps you anxious, easily annoyed and hooks you onto a bad life.

- H

P.S Do a martial Art, it keeps you disiplined, that will easily keep u from just smoking cigarettes, so that'll keep u from illegal drugs

Overall: Don't allow drugs, just need disipline and honor.

If china doesnt have a problem its because they KILLED all of the drug addicts when they became commies prully still do.
disicpline doesnt have anything to do with it, people have been using drugs forever and always will its just part of us they used to think opium was a gift from the gods. hell even animals get high, i think in the spring here all the birds get high on these berries or something.

@ crimson
Marijuana doesn't make u act differently. Your in complete control of urself... You just find everything alot more calming, and its easy to just zone out. That is why you can't tell (other than if they smell like it) whether or not someone has smoked pot.

Woah...what good qualities does drinking have? I mean, I'm certain it may help some people relax but it is a toxin. Alcohol, especially in young people, seriously hinders neurogenesis. Neurogenesis is the process by which new brain cells are created (and for those who believe we have a finite amount of brain cells, we don't, look it up). No matter how little you drink, it does adversely affect your body and your brain. New studies are coming out everyday, that are not entirely conclusive, but strongly suggest connections between even moderate alcohol consumption, and many different types of cancer.
